Torres Blancas (White Towers), by Saenz de Oíza, 1964-69 - in Madrid, Spain

Oíza wanted to make an apartment building unique, very high, which grew organically, like a tree or tree as a whole, by vertical ladders, lifts and facilities, as if they were veins or timber vessels linking the homes to the ground.

Bagsværd Church, by Jørn Utzon, 1968-1976 - in Bagsværd, Denmark

Utzon carefully considered daylight in the Bagsværd Church. It is brought in at the highest point of the curving ceiling, and softened along the curves. It is also filtered in through glass ceilings above corridors and hallways of the Bagsværd Church.

The exterior of the Bagsværd Church is much more austere than the views from within, where white concrete is complimented by pale beach wood. The curving white concrete overhead is matched with white concrete walls, and floor tiles, as well as a delicate white screen of triangles behind the altar. The freestanding pews are constructed out of wood, and another screen isolates the sanctuary from the rest of the building through pale vertical wood pieces.
